Yesterday, through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary, Diana Shipping Inc., a global shipping company specialising in the ownership of dry bulk vessels, agreed to extend the present time charter contract with Uniper Global Commodities SE, Düsseldorf, for one of its post-panamax dry bulk vessels, the m/v Electra. The gross charter rate is US$13 500/d, minus a 5% commission paid to third parties, for a period until minimum 15 September 2019 and maximum 15 December 2019. The new charter period commenced on 19 October 2018. The m/v Electra was chartered, as previously announced, at a gross charter rate of US$8000/d, minus a 5% commission paid to third parties.
The “Electra” is a 87 150 DWT post-panamax dry bulk vessel built in 2013.
The employment extension of Electra is anticipated to generate approximately US$4.40 million of gross revenue for the minimum scheduled period of the time charter extension.
